Happy Hour: French Martini

In honor of tomorrow being Bastille Day (France's equivalent to the 4th of July), I say that we all make (or order out at your local French lounge) French Martinis. In France, a French Martini is typically made with Lillet and served as an aperitif, but like most things, the cocktail has been Americanized. The lillet has been replaced by vodka and the result is a very tasty, somewhat girlie drink, in a decadent shade of raspberry. If you've never tried one please do, it's beyond divine. You know you want the recipe, so

MMMMM...this is actually MY drink ! It is quite delightful ! It has a very distinctive appearance/color, so every time I have one, somebody will always come up and ask me what it is. One time at a work -related conference I had a whole bunch of women that I just met drinking them!
